Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as China

(A) Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as

(B) Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, researchers have determined, making them many times more rare than

(C) There are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined, which makes the leopards many times more rare compared to

(D) Researchers have determined that, because of being poached and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, thus making them many more times as rare as

(E) Researchers have determined that, because of poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times more rare than

答案选E，但是e中明显their指的是reserchers ,而正确的逻辑意思应该是指Arabian Leopards ，所以很明显要排除啊，解释上又说什么要结构平行神马乱七八糟的，前面的题目又说代词应该指离它前面最近的名词为好，~ 坑人啊！求解！！！！！！！！！！！1

将句子简化：Researchers have determined that, because of…, …, and that…
得出：determined后跟that引导的两个并列的宾语从句说明determine的内容，because of为插入语，不难看出because of也和determined that 后面的成分在同一层次，因此their 优先指代 leopards；
而且根据逻辑语义LZ也判断出来： poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats也是指代AL，并非指代 researchers 。

代词指代，manhattan说了。。。。不要用来排除答案，除非代词指代明显错误，gender，单复数，或者其他明显的指代错误，否则的话，不要用来排除答案！这个东西，没啥标准，有时候对，有时候错。。。。一般，不用代词指代，事实上，也是可以做出来的。至于这一题，sisichen666的解释是对的，层次决定了指代的优先，但是，其他句子里，我也见过跳出来层次指代的 - manhattan上说，这是close，非常有道理，就是离谁近，就优先指代谁。。。但是，有时候这个规则又是错的。。。。非常扯淡

you should use the pronoun ambiguity as the last resort
